Benesch Named a 2026 Top Workplace in San Francisco by the San Francisco Chronicle for Second Consecutive Year

Benesch is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as a 2026 Top Workplace® in San Francisco by the San Francisco Chronicle for the second consecutive year, ranking #6 out of 52 companies with 500+ employees. The list recognizes just 105 employers across the entire San Francisco Bay Area, underscoring the firm’s intentional approach to culture and its continued momentum and commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace as it expands its presence in the San Francisco market.

The Top Workplaces awards celebrate the region’s leading employers and are based entirely on confidential feedback from employees. Survey responses are collected by Energage, an independent workplace research firm, and assess key drivers of workplace satisfaction, including whether employees feel respected and supported, enabled to grow and empowered to execute.

“This recognition speaks to the remarkable momentum of our San Francisco office,” said Benesch Chief Human Resources Officer Liz Gillmore. “We’ve grown quickly while staying true to who we are, and I’m incredibly proud of the team that continues to help shape a dynamic, collaborative and high‑performing workplace.”

Home to more than 30 of the firm’s attorneys, Benesch’s San Francisco office has attracted a deep bench of diverse legal talent from BigLaw, boutique firms and in-house legal departments, drawn by the firm’s entrepreneurial culture, strategic growth trajectory and expanding footprint in the Bay Area. As Benesch continues to scale and strengthen its capabilities across key practice areas, the San Francisco office has become an increasingly integral part of the firm’s national platform.

With an industry-leading lateral retention rate, Benesch has been repeatedly recognized for its outstanding workplace culture. The firm has also been named a regional Top Workplace in Columbus, New York, Chicago and Northeast Ohio; recognized as one of the 100 Most Loved Workplaces in America by The Wall Street Journal; and included among the Best Companies to Work For by U.S. News & World Report.
